I realize this is your first structured RP and you've probably had a difficult time transitioning from the old create-a-universe threads, but if you want to improve as a player, you need to remember this: RPs are essentially group writing and teamwork exercises, not solo stories.
You need to talk to players to keep the overall narrative cohesive. Constantly aping other sources and constantly retconning even in the middle of your story arc only breeds confusion and makes you look indecisive. Hope that helps.
